The young mathematician's guide . Being a plain and easie introduction to the mathematicks. In five Parts. viz. I. Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers. II. Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving æquations is rendered easie; and illustrated with variety of examples, and numerical questions. Also the whole business of interest and annuities, &c. performed by the pen. III. The elments of geometry, contracted, and analytically demonstrated; with a new and easie method of finding the circle's peripherty and area to any assigned exactness, by one æquation only; also a new way of making sines and tangents. IV. Conic sections, wherein the chief properties, &c. of the ellipsis, parabola, and hyperbola, are clearly demonstrated. V. The arithmetick of infinites explain'd, and render'd easie; with its application to superficial, and solid geometry. With an appendix of practical [ea]ging. The sixth edition, carefully corrected; and new tables of compound interest at five percent. calculated, and added by the author, John Ward.

Clavis usur? or, a key to interest, both simple and compound: containing practical rules, plainly express'd in Words at length; whereby, all the various Cases of Interest, and Annuities, or Leases either in Possession, or Reversion, and Purchasing Free-Hold Estates, &c. may very easily be Resolv'd, both by the Pen and a small Table of Logarithms, hereunto annex'd; For all Rates of Interest, and Times of Payment whatsoever; Illustrated by Variety of Examples. To which is added, rules to be observ'd in estimating the value of annuities, or leases, and Insurances for Lives, &c. Also, The Business of Rebate or Discompt, and the Equation of Payments (very useful for Merchants and other Deallers) is here Rectified and truly Determin'd. By J. Ward.

IV. Conick [sections], wherein the chief properties, &c. of the ellipsis, parabola, and hyperbola, are clearly demonstrated. V. The arithmetick of infinites explained, and rendered easy; with it's application to superficial and solid geometry. With an appendix of practical gauging. By John Ward. The ninth edition, carfully corrected. To which is added a supplement, containing the history of logarithms, and an index to the whole work.
